They’re showing slides at 37 minutes, yet the camera is on the speaker instead of the slides. That was disappointing.

especially the …
especially the flickering light is reported to give a lot of people headaches, especially if it’s the only light source in a room you regularly stay in(living, working room etc…).
The metallic mercury content makes the manufactoring and disposal processes ecologically questionable.

-they produce a …
-they produce a very unfortunate kind of light to work and live in: a spectral distribution with only several peaks in it, in high contrast to sunlight or other thermal radiation light sources.
-even worse, this light flickers heavily to the mains frequency, which regular/halogen bulps don’t do due to thermal decay delay
-they are much more susceptible to decreasing their expected life span if you switch them regularly then regular bulps.
-the are undimmable(you can’t fractionally power them)

10:20 fluorascend bulbs, compact or in regular tube shape, aren’t really eco-friendly:
-contain mercury in metallic, but at least in an amalgam form. so DON’T BREAK THEM! don’t throw them in regular garbage can! they need special waste disposal techniques
-they produce more electromagnetic smog with pronounced higher harmonics than many cell phones and far more than most old TV/PC cathod raytubes

I think nuclear can be made to be safe and clean given some efforts were spent to do so. Lets say oil vanished and Sun light was nearly gone, not the suns fault but our atmosphere fault. Scientist would get of that and make nuclear the norm.

it is nice. But it cost more to install and repair, than just use the old system (nuc power)

the speaker is the kind of guy with all the flaming fudge bags on his porch on Halloween, in his canteen, and a sign on his back “Kick me, HARD”. Just your basic douche bag who knows just enough to blow the adequate amount of facts up your tailpipe to get you to waste cash on his lame system.

Solar panels are banned by most Homeowners Associations.
So most homeowners will never be allowed to take advantage of this technology

Anything in your …
Anything in your yard or on your roof can be blown to smitherines and actually become dangerous projectiles in a powerful storm.
No one mentions electrical or wind storm situations.
I’ve had solar water heating panels destroyed twice on my roof in 5yrs.
What happens when your roof needs to be replaced?
What danger of roof leakage results?
These are the little secrets that aren’t discussed here.
